Back to School #Giveaway and Organizing Tip – Win a LivingPlug Prize Pack

August 15, 2014 by Susan

Susan here with a clever item to consider as you get organized for Back to School. This giveaway is sponsored by LivingPlug.

Back to School Giveaway Event

Getting ready for the Back to School season means kicking family organization systems back into action.

One important – and simple – organization tip is to set up a smart phone/device charging station on your kitchen counter or another central location that’s away from kids’ bedrooms.

But a challenge to setting up such a charging station is the standard, old electrical outlet that only allows two devices to charge.

Here’s a fun and stylish solution that actually conserves energy… LivingPlug!

Tip Charge Devices in Central Location

LivingPlug is redefining the electrical outlet with our first product, the INLET along with an integrated faceplate system. We are not only redeveloping its staid appearance, but also improving child safety, conserving energy and enhancing utility.

Watch this video to see how simple it is to start using a LivingPlug…

LivingPlug Benefits

The INLET is child safe, energy efficient, and aesthetically designed.

Child Safety
Did you know that approximately 2400 children receive emergency room treatment every year for injuries caused by inserting objects into electrical outlets.

The INLET transforms an unguarded duplex outlet into a protected powersource with three Tamper Resistant (TR) receptacles (hidden on the bottom of the device) and the option to further secure directly to a standard duplex outlet.

Aesthetic Design
Instead of typical outlets that are typically cropped or photoshopped out of photos, the LivingPlug has several appealing designs including an option to design your own faceplate.

Energy Efficient
15% or more of a home energy bill is wasted due to phantom or vampire charges, appliances that are plugged in, but not in use. The LivingPlug facilitates energy conservation via the UNLPUG button that cuts power to the receptacles and the USB.

Follow LivingPlug on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest
Shop at LivingPlug.com and use the code 5MM to receive 25% off your purchase!

Enter to Win

Win a Prize Pack including the INLET, Walnut Faceplate, and a Gift Certificate for a Design Your Own Faceplate.
